So, you got to the very end of a recruiting process that ultimately didn't work out, but months later, you see the company is still looking to fill the role you applied to. How chaotic is it to apply to the job?

Unpopular opinion: I freaking love voice notes. The longer, the better. That's when you know the tea is HAWT. I understand why some people hate it and us, voice-note-lovers, need to be mindful. But show me two people sending literal podcasts to each other on the daily and I'll show you a friendship.
“If it’s under a minute, I’m like, OK, I can do this,” said a voice note recipient. “Six or seven is just terrible. I don’t even know if I could listen to seven minutes straight of a friend talking on the phone.”
How long is too long for an audio message?

So, You Love Sending Voice Notes. Do Your Friends Love Getting Them?
The audio messages give users the freedom to deliver lengthy, meandering monologues — to the chagrin of some recipients.

Hi! So, I'm not new here, but this is new! I'm not just a journalist: I'm also sort of an artist (impostor syndrome doesn't allow me to use just "artist"). I'm gonna start sharing my work here, so let me know if you like it <3

What's the point of offering "senior" positions when you're asking for 2 years of experience and offering 50K?

You guys: "Senior editor" doesn't mean hiring one person to do five jobs for the price of a well-paid associate editor.

Hi there, skeeters! Still looking for someone who can talk to me about their experience with environmental isolation (aka, you WFH a lot or are still self-isolating for medical reasons). Have you had brain fog? I'd love to ask you a couple of questions!
Hi there! I'm writing a story about environmental isolation (AKA staying for a long time in one place) and brain fog. Are you isolating because you're immunocompromised? Are you WFH and you're not good at leaving your place anyway? Could I ask you a couple of questions? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Getting old is having the old carcass threaten you with an epic migraine if you dare to stay in bed past 9am. I honestly think it's extremely rude.

Unemployment will make you do stupid shit. Like, convincing yourself that you don't have the money for a haircut (I don't, but I also don't need one), that no, using tiny eyebrow scissors is also not such a bad idea, and that you should go for it.

Also, if you know of anybody in similar conditions, share this with them. Or re-skeet this (are we still saying that?). It'll be greatly appreciated.

Being unemployed during the holidays means Dec. 26 comes around and you wake up in a swirl of anxiety asking your laptop if everyone's done celebrating and ready to review folks' job applications

Like the endless books that are exactly the same, because their sales are on-trend and guaranteed, this is the identical thing: take no risks, do nothing diferrent, just remake the big stuff, over and over and over, because it's bums-on-seats and safe monies.

This is no reflection on Wonka specifically, but...
FFS: Invest. In. New. Stories.
The last 30 years have seen remake after remake after reboot after prequel after spin-off.
So much of mainstream culture has become creatively timorous yet rapacious in its goal to milk intellectual properties dry.

We were working on this one before the layoffs at PopSci happened, but I'm glad the last edition of The Opt Out got to see the light of day.

all the media orgs have cover to lay people off because every other one is. apparently they don’t think we can get outraged at all of them!
Vox laying off climate reporters on literally the first day of COP28 is just atrocious and alarming.
CNBC dismantled their climate desk last week.
What is going on here? I sincerely hope this is not some trend where mainstream media is deciding that the climate EMERGENCY is not worth focusing on.

Found out today (by way of generic email) I'm getting laid off from Vox.
I would love to talk opportunities for an experienced climate journalist, editor, and investigative reporter.

This is so heartbreaking. I'll forever treasure the work done by the awesome team behind PopSci during the 4 years I had the honor of being an editor there. I know that we should be desensitized by now, but it's truly a sad day for media and science journalism.

So, I got laid off today after more than 4 years working at PopSci. It's incredibly sad and frustrating, but I got the chance to work with some awesome people. I'll be looking for editorial/content creation positions in the future so if you know of something, please hmu 🙌🏼
